lol speaking of Joof. Ministry of sound released a psy compilation? Wtf... didn't know the genre was getting that bad.
Yeah I was listening to it the other day, I know fuck all about psy (have some 90s goa though like mwnn, fluoro stuff etc), but a lot of the tracks on the full-on mix just reminded me of standard hard dance like you get with the other euphoria cds.

search for new talented djs
trance isnt dead because of big money-head djs
Psy is doing alright, although you still can't put on uber massive events and expect lots of punters.
Commercial trance is doing shit, and most of the big events just appeal to tourist clubbers to make gatecrasher/cream/mos etc. some more money from their brand.
It's dead in a way I'm quite glad as it's been shit for ages. When I listen to some tracks I would of listened to six or so years ago I cringe.
Over here we like new music and we like things to be innovative. A lot of the other scenes are lot more healthy in the UK these days.
But people are saying everything's dead in the UK atm, breaks and hard dance are meant to be 'dead' aswell.
Seems to me that the kids today either listen to shit like basshunter and cascada, or moronic 'dnb' like pendulum. Proper dance music doesn't seem to have much of a presence in the chart anymore, so there's no way for people to get into the scene.

You'd need a pretty large shift to bring trance(as it was) back. Most producers that chug out the mainstream crap these days will continue to do so since it nets them exposure and cash. Plus, people who know shit-all about good dance music eat that pop crap up like candy.
I'd love to see it happen someday though. I still love the older style stuff, but I can't even listen to the recent stuff.
In the liner notes of an old MOS trance cd I have it says something like 'trance is the sound of the millennium, and while critics say it won't last, trance shows no signs of slowing down' hahaha
You should move to Germany ......... then you can ask your question again 
i have no idea but i can tell you it has to be more alive in the UK than in the US.... sucks

when you say classic trance do you mean like cosmic baby,dance 2 trance etc or later stuff?
I meant 95-99 progressive trance, I suppose classic trance is the earlier hypnotic stuff, technically

| Originally posted by PETRAN Yeah!!! But i don't want to trust everything in Moby! Maybe we should at least try to produce some classic-trance as well? Early-to-mid-90s trance and prog-house FTW. |

| Originally posted by MrJiveBoJingles That's one kind of music I want to make, stuff in the general style of classic trance and prog-house but with modern mixing and mastering quality. I still have lots of work to do, but I'm plugging away at it... |

Now this is what i call trance, this IS Trance with a capital T. relentless four-to-the-flour kick backed by ominous timpani(!) and terminator-like post-apocalyptic chords all (dish)armonically mixed, before an ecstatic arpeggio joins towards the end.) |

| Originally posted by Jono404 Yeah but it's a fairly recent development. Give it 2 years and people will be questioning whether the British dubstep scene is dead or not. |
